For my 60's album I researched into Victor moscoso as i think his designs sum up the 60's pretty well. his work was always psychedelic looking the colours which he used were bright and eye catching.
Victor Moscoso (born 1936 in Oleiros, Spain) is an artist best known for producing psychedelic rock posters/advertisements and underground comix in San Francisco during the 1960s and 1970s.
Born in Spain, Moscoso was the first of the rock poster artists of the 1960s era with formal academic training and experience. After studying art at Cooper Union in New York City and at Yale University, he moved to San Francisco in 1959. There, he attended the San Francisco Art Institute, where he eventually became an instructor.
Moscoso's use of vibrating colors was influenced by painter Josef Albers, one of his teachers at Yale. He was the first of the rock poster artists to use photographic collage in many of his posters.
Professional lightning struck in the form of the psychedelic rock and roll poster for San Francisco's dance halls and clubs. Moscoso's posters for the Family Dog dance-concerts at the Avalon Ballroom and his Neon Rose posters for the Matrix resulted in international attention during the 1967 Summer of Love.
Over the years, Moscoso created several album covers for various artists including Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Steve Miller and Herbie Hancock.
